Does this only apply in the states or is there a similar clause somewhere for Aussie pathfinder owners

So, I pulled the passenger side axle out on Sunday and gave the inner CV a general cleanup and repack (Plus replaced upper balljoint as it had split the rubber boot). I needed the car back together so did not have time to do the outer but have heard that the outers are not really servicable? I did not notice any damage to the inner CV. Took it for a run at the beach last nite and still had a click (Was not as noticable or as frequent but still there). I was driving initially and it still sounded like it was coming from the passenger side. I gave the missus a drive and as I was in the passenger seat it sounds as though its definately somewhere near the diff. I dont think its the hubs (or even the outer CV's), the noise is not coming from that far out on the axle. I did notice when I had the shaft out that the mounting bushes on the front of the Diff (To the chassis from memory) were pretty worn to the point that I could see straight through were I should have seen the rubber bush. Are these a pressed in bush? How difficult to replace? Could it be causing some grief? Thanks for all the suggestions guys

Thanks guys, I will roll the big girl into the shed today and have a look.

I have recently bought my first pathfinder (1994 ST). It has been a great car given its age and Km's. I live in Newcastle, Australia and have the spectacular Stockton Beach at my door step. I have had my pathy in the bush and on the beach nearly every weekend since I bought it and have a problem that I cant seem to fix. When I drive in the bush it goes perfectly through and over some fairly mild 4x4 conditions (Low Speed). Whenever I take it on the beach I get an intermittent clunk coming from the front left. It sounds like the diff binding and then releasing but I have had it serviced and found no faults. It is not a constant ticking (like a broken tooth) and it doesnt seem to be when the front axles are heavily loaded. The only common actuation of the clunk is when I travel at approx 40Km/h but even then it comes and goes. I originally thought it was the manual free wheeling hubs popping out under load. I Have since serviced them for no improvement. Has anyone experienced this problem? Any suggestions are welcomed. My pathy is not modified, it is a 4 door ST with the 3L V6 engine (330,000kms). Its past life did not include any 4wding (Soccer mums car). I have been watching this forum for a while and it seems to be very helpful, hopefully someone will know my problem.
